They were young, brilliant, and bold. They set out to conquer the world. But the world had other plans for them. Bestselling author Susan Jane Gilman's new memoir is a hilarious and harrowing journey, a modern heart of darkness filled with Communist operatives, backpackers, and pancakes. In 1986, fresh out of college, Gilman and her friend Claire yearned to do something daring and original that did not involve getting a job. Inspired by a place mat at the International House of Pancakes, they decided to embark on an ambitious trip around the globe, starting in the People's Republic of China. At that point, China had been open to independent travelers for roughly ten minutes. Armed only with the collected works of Nietzsche, an astrological love guide, and an arsenal of bravado, the two friends plunged into the dusty streets of Shanghai. Unsurprisingly, they quickly found themselves in over their heads. As they ventured off the map deep into Chinese territory, they were stripped of everything familiar and forced to confront their limitations amid culture shock and government surveillance. What began as a journey full of humor, eroticism, and enlightenment grew increasingly sinister-becoming a real-life international thriller that transformed them forever. Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven is a flat-out page-turner, an astonishing true story of hubris and redemption told with Gilman's trademark compassion, lyricism, and wit.Binding Type: Paperback

More than a technical guide this book is a masterclass in design leadership using Figma!
Format: Kindle
Sharma's expertise from leading design teams at major companies shines through, offering real-world insights that integrate Figma into a strong design process.
What sets this book apart is Aditi’s genuine expertise. She doesn’t just teach the mechanics of Figma—she brings the wisdom of someone who has led design teams at Amazon, JPMorgan, and Walmart, weaving in real-world insights that make the tool feel like an extension of a strong design process. The structured approach, practical exercises, and advanced techniques helped me not only sharpen my skills but also rethink how I lead design collaboration in my teams.
For design leaders aiming to elevate their Figma expertise and use it effectively at scale, this book is an essential resource, making the transition both seamless and impactful.

Practical, Engaging, and Worth Every Penny
Format: Paperback
I’ve read a few Figma books, but this one stands out because of how engaging and hands-on it is. It’s written in a way that makes you feel like you’re learning from a mentor, not just reading a manual. The exercises are practical, and the step-by-step approach makes even complex concepts easy to grasp.
I also loved the section on integrating plugins and designing responsively for multiple devices—it’s these little details that make a big difference in real-world design work.
